Words Fail Me Dept.

There are days when commentary itself seems unnecessary. The events of yesterday – big news on a Friday afternoon, whoda thunk it? – made January 18, 2019 one of them.

BuzzFeed ran a wholly fabricated story that accused President Trump of instructing his former lawyer Michael Cohen to commit, if not an indictable criminal offense, at the very least an indictment of Trump’s character adequate to justify his impeachment and removal from office. From a site such as BuzzFeed, which gives new meaning to the phrases “yellow journalism” and “clickbait,” that’s just barely newsworthy. BuzzFeed’s “journalists” have demonstrated their lack of journalistic ethics on several occasions. But then Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller stepped forward and publicly refuted the story. Now that’s news!

Something that I haven't seen - though entirely possible I missed it - was something about which I only heard on a local talk show; to wit, that Steele, under oath, said that his dossier was done at the behest and pay of the Clintons with the specific aim of damaging Trump. It was in the Washington Times, but when I looked I didn't see it.
